HINDU RASHTRA : AN UTOPIAN DREAM
DISCLAIMER - All the Senas (except Bhartiya Sena) like Shivsena, Hindu Rashtra Sena, RSS, VHP do not represent Hindus. Most of the Hindus are unaffected by what they do and say, many have never heard of them and their dreams and many, though small in number hate them for their uncivilized, anti national, hate mongering acts.
Just after finishing the largest ever democratic process, India has seen all the small, tiny but acid throwing fringe groups based on Hindutva ideology resurfacing on the political space. Some demand a Hindu Rashtra where only Hindus live following the so called glorious Hindu way of life. This they claim will purify the nations, though it may take murdering, burning or even raping some humans.
Let us examine how realistic their dream is.
We in India proudly have the second largest populations of Muslims only behind Indonesia. With our glorious Democratic ethos and free speech, liberal values we have failed the most diabolical Terror groups in their attempts of creating a space in our secular nation.Those selling dreams of a Hindu Rashtra are akin to the salesmen selling air filled in jars , though immoral and unethical but profitable. That's called Marketing!!!
The takers of these dreams are the poor souls who are fooled again and again with this political 'Carrot & Stick', but they are so loyal to their leaders that they will even die with this dream as their last wish. Maybe the leader says Tathastu. The best we can do these fellow Indians is taking them to a good Psychiatrist for daydreaming too much. How can 18% of over a billion population vanish ? What do they expect to do with them ?
Even the least sane person understands that it is Impossible. But Alas! Insanity has taken some radical human brains.
These divisive groups are blowing off the secular credentials of our Constitution every single day with much pride. The depressing fact is the support they garner from voters, who want to have a country with homogenity in religion and believe that all other things like Economic development, Law & Order, Education, Trade & Commerce will automatically fall in place.
The first education Minister of India was a muslim and a leading protagonist challenging M.A. Jinnah's self proclaimed claim of being the sole representative of all Muslims of South Asia. In similar lines these Indian Hindu Leagues claim such things. The matter of the fact is that RSS is equally responsible for partition as Muslim League is. Both were operating their hate selling shops in the most cordial reciprocity.
What a shame for us that we Indians suddenly are awaken by a warning from Terrorist group losing its ground. Do we need such warnings for our experts to suggest that the widening gap between Muslims & Hindus may prove disastrous ? The alienation of Muslim youth has to be narrowed, our experts advice. Or New Delhi wakes up when some rebellious religious group picks up arms against it to get what it deserved and was denied by the majority community.
The new PM Modi has amazed not only the nation but the world by his Vision. But he has no less confused the country with his "Speak & Silence" policy. He will speak about Good Governance and some Yogis and Maharajs wrongly placed in nation's Parliament will puke hatred on which our PM remains Silent.
This silence shall not be converted into the silent before a Big Storm.
